  • The Lowthers at Holker: Marriage, Inheritance and Debt in the Fortunes of an Eighteenth-Century Landowning Family
    THE LOWTHERS AT HOLKER: MARRIAGE, INHERITANCE AND DEBT IN THE FORTUNES OF AN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY LANDOWNING FAMILY J. V. Beckett, B.A., Ph.D. H E Lowthers of Marske owned estates in north Lancashire be­ tween 1697 and 1756, and they provide an interesting example Tof several facets of eighteenth-century English landownership, par­ ticularly how lucrative marriages and fortuitous inheritance could play a vital part in the rise and fall of a family’s fortunes. Many years of financial difficulty ended in 1755 when they inherited the West Cumberland estates and collieries of Sir James Lowther of Whitehaven. But just when the family’s hopes were at their brightest the premature death of Sir William Lowther in 1756 brought the line to an end. The purpose of this paper is to look at how the family ran their estate and financial affairs, which will reveal some of the problems and difficulties faced by a gentry family in the first half of the eighteenth century. William Lowther (1675-1705) owned an estate of more than 6,000 acres at Marske in north Yorkshire which his grandfather Robert had purchased for £13,00 0 in the 1650s on the profits made as a London merchant. Robert was the seventh son of Sir Christopher Lowther of Lowther (d. 1572) from whom the various other branches of the family at Whitehaven in Cumberland, Maulds Meaburn in Westmorland and Swillington in Yorkshire, traced their ancestry. William Lowther acquired property in north Lancashire in June 1697 when he married Catherine, the only daughter and heiress of Thomas Preston who had died the previous year.

  • Destination Lake District
    © Lonely Planet Publications 16 Destination Lake District There is a blessing in the air, Which seems a sense of joy to yield To the bare trees, and mountains bare, And grass in the green field. William Wordsworth, 1798 In terms of sheer natural splendour, nowhere in England can hold a candle to the sky-topping vistas and wide-angle views of the Lake District. For centuries, poets, painters, polymaths and perambulators alike have been tramping around the region’s fells and sunlit ravines in search of inspiration and escape, and it’s still the nation’s favourite place to revel in the mighty majesty of the English landscape. ‘No part of the country is more distinguished by its sublimity,’ mused the grand old bard of the lakes, William Wordsworth, and two centuries on his words still ring true. Wordsworth, Coleridge and their Romantic con- temporaries famously emigrated to the Lakes in search of their collective poetic muse in the early 19th century, and a host of other literary luminaries followed in their footsteps: John Ruskin, Harriet Martineau, Beatrix Potter, CUMBRIA FAST Arthur Ransome and, of course, John Cunliffe, creator of the classic children’s FACTS TV series, Postman Pat. It’s not too hard to understand what drew them all Area: 2630 sq miles here. Every bend in the road seems to reveal a fresh panorama of astonish- ing views: deep valleys and plunging passes hollowed out by long-extinct Population: 498,900 glaciers, plummeting fell-sides coated with orange bracken, granite boulders Unemployment: 2.1% and twisted trees, and misty mountain lakes illuminated by sudden shafts of Number of people sunlight breaking through the cloud.

Preface In this list cadet, associated, and stem families are arranged in a single entry when substantial property passed between one and the other providing continuity of parliamentary representation (even, as was the case in a few instances, when no blood or marriage relationship existed). Subsidiary/cadet families are usually grouped under the oldest, richest, or most influential stem family. Female MPs are counted with their birth families, or, if not born into a parliamentary family, with their husband’s family.
